Red Bell pepper & salmon mousse on Belgian endive

Chris over MeleCotte is launching a blog event Cooking Combat Cancer, "... ... One way we can help reduce the risk of developing the disease is by making healthy lifestyle choices. Since this is a food blog, I am going with…eating well. There are many foods out there that can help our bodies fight the illness. And with those foods come recipe ... ... Recipes are need to include something that will help the body fight cancer - healthy recipes basically". I place my focus on organic food. For meat, I'm against "factory" farming which inevitably harms the well-being of livestock; poor living condition plus unnecessary drugs to boost their growth resulting "poisonous" meat. Organically and free-ranged raised chickens are easy to find at store in here, not quite for pork or beef though. So now I seldom take meat. But yesterday a friend of mine bought me some wild Alaskan salmon, I combined it with my other organic vegetable, cooked in a very simple way, it is my interpretation of eating healthy.

Gattina, this is the first time I have seen an handsome salmon ,neatly dressed up in an attractive tuxedo with a bow tie and buttons :))) Yes, I guess we should all focuss more on eating healthy food!!

What a lovely dish!Perfect for a starter, I would think. (I usually don't take the time for lunch - yogurt and apple.)Pretty, healthy and tasty - what more can one ask for?As to organic - I have chickens scratching on the other side of my hedge - and the farmer sells them, their eggs as well as the beef grazing in the pastures. I just had to adjust to finishing the plucking....
